There are not many items of clothing more masculine than the necktie. Sure there are some woman that wear ties but for the most part they are worn daily by men. Whether being worn for business or play, ties always show confidence and importance. Plus there's the added bonus that the man in the suit and tie will always get the woman. So sometimes I wonder why so many men choose to ignore all the positives that neckwear can bring and wear a t-shirt or hoody instead. A walk in my cities largest department store gave me the answer. All I saw were standard solid colored and striped ties that in all honestly were very unattractive. But it’s 2014 and we have many more options than department stores. Bows-N-Ties is an online neckwear and accessories shop that offers high quality modern pieces in an array of designs, prints and textures. The specific tie that I’m wearing here is the dark orange glen check tie from their autumn collection. You can shop it and the rest of their ties on bows-n-ties.com

As you can see this outfit consists of very basic colors (blue, white, grey and camel). Then I added a dusty orange tie bringing color and texture to the outfit, creating something that’s conservative but fun and stylish at the same time. Menswear is all about the small details such as pocket squares, ties, scarfs, tie bars and cufflinks. These are all little items that can drastically change an outfit for the better and Bows-N-Ties has them all. I hope you enjoy this outfit and all have a great week.
